Ramadan in South Auckland

Ramadan in South Auckland

Ramadan is also known as the month of fasting, benevolence and social cooperation. The Holy month witnesses a number of activities, festivals and programmes organized by South Auckland Muslim Association (SAMA).

Iftar Meals
Iftar catering is provided for the community within the Mosque every day during Ramadan. The tents located next to the Mosque are a prominent symbol of the Ramadan spirit of giving and sharing, with people from all walks of life, regardless of their nationality, social status or financial background, sitting shoulder to shoulder to break their fast.
Free Iftar meals are offered to hundreds of people at the Mosque, sponsored by the members of our Association.

Zakat Fund
The Zakat Fund intensifies its campaigns during Ramadan to raise awareness about Zakat among the members of the society. In addition to supporting its beneficiaries in New Zealand including needy families, widowed women and poor students, the Zakat Fund is distributed to other needy people in countries of need.

Islamic Lectures
In addition to charity activities, Ramadan at Masjid Al Mustafa also featured a series of lectures. The program, held at the Mosque from the first of the Holy Month, comprises appealing and educational programmes and activities for the community.
In addition, South Auckland Muslim Association invites Alims and Huffaz to lead Salat Al Taraweh (congregational prayers). The beautiful recitation of the Qaris and inspirational lectures provided during this month ensure an engaged, passionate and dedicated Muslim community in South Auckland.

Itiqaaf Program
During the last 10 days of Ramadan, a group comprising our members dedicate their time and stay at the Mosque. This group organize themselves to ensure that the programmes are held continuously, round the clock.

Eid Festival
At the conclusion of Ramadan, the popular Eid Festival, will be organized. Spreading a cheerful atmosphere, the Festival brings together people of different nationalities and cultures celebrating with friend and families. Our vision is about safer communities together; regardless of where your country of origin may be. If we can support the integration of cultures respecting differences, helping people get on with each other it makes our community safer and stronger.

On behalf of the SAMA, it gives me immense pleasure to convey best compliments to the entire Muslim families on the auspicious month of Ramahan. Wishing each and every one of you a fruitful Ramadan and I pray that the year ahead be meaningful and filled with blessings and happi¬ness. I pray that this brings joy to the whole world and Allah protects all nations and faiths during these trying times of trials and tribulations for humanity.
